Education & Resources
The Standards Commission provides training and support to councillors, members of devolved public bodies and other stakeholders to promote the Codes of Conduct and assist them in attaining the highest possible ethical standards.
Standards Commission Surveys
The Standards Commission occasionally undertakes surveys to obtain the views of stakeholders on aspects of our work, including proposed changes to our guidance.
Details of any ongoing surveys can be accessed below.
The Standards Commission issued a survey to members of devolved public bodies at the end of August 2018. The intention of the survey was to establish whether the lack of complaints about members of devolved public bodies was the result of a high level of adherence to the Codes of Conduct (based on the Model Code of Conduct) or whether poor conduct was taking place but going unreported. The Standards Commission also sought to establish the extent of awareness amongst members of certain provisions in the Codes. Documents summarising the responses received can also be accessed below.
